PASSING THE BUCKS: The grand jury testimony...

PASSING THE BUCKS: The grand jury testimony released last week reveals a new side to the way Charles Keating handled money. . . . An employee testified that soon after Keating bought now-defunct Lincoln Savings & Loan, he gathered employees at the Irvine office to present bonuses. Keating walked in with about $30,000 in $100 and $50 bills and threw the cash into the air. . . . “It was later divided up, and each was given $100,” the employee testified. . . . Keating’s lawyers are back in court today to ask that securities fraud charges against him be dismissed.
